One point for a 10T UFS2 filesystem is a limit of 2G inodes.
Someone mentioned a problem in another thread with more inodes.
Another point is the fsck memory footprint when checking such a
filesystem - that should very much depend on your newfs args and
number of files.
Otherwise it should just work.
